DONT LET THAT COUGH

tickling starts in your throat. A gentle

then another, First thing you know,

A few nights of that and you're so 


worn out and weakened that the cough 
takes a tight grip on you, 

But why cudure it? 

Na-Dra-Co Syrup of Linseed, Lies 
ice and Chlorolene will soothe 
exasperating tickling, loosen the phlesa 
and cure the inflammation of the mucous

freshing sleep, but it goes to the root of 
the trouble and drives out the cold com-

even more thin the tide, for with Its 
Hight we could see our enemies. With- 


out it they could climb to our decks | 


under vover of the darkness and over. 
power us by force of numbers. 

Uur luckiest tind in the way of de- 
feuse wus some barbed wire fencing 
stuwed awuy in the cargo. We 
stretched it uround the guuwale, We 
didn't consider ty sufficient to keep off 
an evemy, but excellent for purposes 
of delay. We put two rows, one above 


,_ the other, from stern to midsbips in 


order to make ft easier for the bincks 
to attack us aft, thus concentrating 
them to our advantage. 

We bad two couplings on the boilers 
and hose enough to reach any part of 
the ship from both couplings. By 
sunset we had all our dispositions 
The captain was in command. 
The first officer was to work the port 


and J the starboard bose. The arms , 


were distributed among the white 
crew. The Asiutica were kept in the 
hold. 

As the evening approached they be 
gan to cry to be let vut, uot relixhing 
being murdered like rats in a trap. 
And they alsu feured that the blacks 
might set the ship atire or let the wa- 
ter in ob them to drown them 
pald no attention to them, and they 
finally becage mure quiet. 

Loug befure the sun surrendered the 
day tu the muon we bad everything 


in readiness to repel bourdera. Open: | 


ings were ieft in tbe fencing, which 
wus closely woven, with a barb ov 
top, so that we could tire at our ene 
mies ax well us keep them from get:

The Food Question 


Collier's (Canadian edition) — of 
August 26th contains an article en- 
titled ‘“Westtield —A Pure Food 


Town,” which is sure to be interesting 
to all housekeepers, The people of 
Westfield (Mass.) woke up to the fact 
j that they were not getting pure food, 
for pure material for use in food. 
| They do not want, and now will not 
have, fruits, james, ete., in which cers 
|tain preservatives are used, peanuts 
tthat have been varnished to make 
ithem look nice, ete. Of the groceries 
|tested in the laboratory one of_ the 
| ost frequently adulterated is baking 
| powder, A delightful concoction, 
nown as a tart proved to be puff- 
paste made with alum, with a jelly 
feentre dyed with coal-tar, The art 
licle goes on to say: “So little baking 
i powder is used in some homes that 
jthis product would seem comparative. 
fly unimportant. But a great deal of 
lhaking powder, however, is used in 
| the bought cake and biscuits, and a 
great deal of this is adulterated.” 
{The adulteration may be by ammonia, 
| Which is fraudulent but not injurious, 


jor by alum, which is decidedly injure, 
jious, as it hardens the tissues of the | 


mucous membranes, As a precaution, 
look at the label and see if the in- 
jgredients are stated, 
iif alum or something that looks like 
jalum (such as alumina) is one 
ithem, or if the ingredients are not 
stated by the manufacturer it will be 
| well to select some other brand. 

| Jams, jellies, catsups, 


gelatines, desert powders, flavoring 


lextracts are often colored with coal. | 


jtar dyes. These dyes are sometimes 
harmless, but very frequently injuri- 
lous depending on the particular com- 
| bination. There is one pattie of Creme 
ide Menthe at the Normal School 
jwhich contains a coal-tar dye suffici- 
ently poisonous to have killed two 
people. The bottle is almost full but 
the small amount used caused the 
death of a man and his wife, and then 
the product was sent for analysis. Ex- 
tracts ure also adulterated with wood 
alcohol and with tumeric, a fraudulent 
adulterant, 

No doubt many cities and towns 
will profit by Westfield’s experience 
and follow its example.—(Canadian 
Home Journal.)

Wien did not threaten the fights of 
Great Britain, Sir wdwatd Grey mide 
no secret of tne fact that the situation | 
had at one tine been very tense, but 
thought his statements would prove 
& seuative to a world which had been 
induiging in a tit of political aico- 
hous and that the time had arrived 
for it to get and to keep cool and 
sober, 

At the outset Sir Edward told the 
House tnat Herr Von Kiderien-Waeci. | 
ter's disciosure of the conversations 
which had taken place between tne! 
German ambassador and himseif had | 
taken him by surprise, In diplomatic | 
procedure it Was most unusual to 
make public any such conversations 
without consulting the other party, 
and knew notuing whatever of Herr) 
Von — hiderlen-Wuechter's intention 
until he read the published account. 

He did not make any complaint, | 
however, as he understood the ex-! 
igencies of the situation in Germany | 
precluded any #uch consultation. 

Herr Von hiderlen-Wavchter’s state. 
ment was not complete so that he (Sir| 
Edward Grey) was under no necessity | 
of putting the part taken by the Brit | 
ish foreign ottice before the House of | 
Commons in a fuller manner. 

The communication made to the} 
British foreign office by the German! 
ambassador, Count Paul Motlff-Met- 
ternich on July 1 in regard to the de- 
spatch of the German gunboat Panth- 
er to Agadir, in southern 
and the ambassador's explanation in| 
regard to that matter, continued Sir! 
Kaward Grey, made it clear that Ger- 
many regarded a return to the status | 
quo in Morocco as impossible, and 
that Germany's real object was a de- 
finite solution of the whole Morocean 
question, 

On July 3, Sir Edward Grey inform: 
ed the German ainbussador that) the 
situation created by the despateh of) 
the Panther to Agadir was so serious 
and important that it must be dis. 
ecnssed ata cubinet council, and on 
duly 4 he told Count Metternich that 
Great Britain was not able to take up 
a odisinterested  attiud ring 
Morocco, hor to recopulsze tiew 
arrangement Come to 
sent, 

A silence followed, and the next eon- 
versation between Sir award Grey 
and Count Wolfi-Metternich took 
place on July 21, when the British 
foreign secretary told the German aime 
bassador that the British government 
adhered to his statement made on 
duly 4.) Sir BKaward Grey and Count 
Wolff-Matternich oon that occasion 
that the British govenment knew that 
a rectifieation of the Congo frontier 
Was proposed as the basis of a setle- 
ment between Germany and Franee, 
and said he thought the matter might 
be arranged on such a basis without 
affecting British interests,

had been made anxious by the news 
regarding the demands whieh the Ger. 
man government bind made from the 
French government, whieh in effect 
meant a cession of the Freneh Congo, | 
and which it was obviously impossible 


for the Freneh yovernment to con. 
cede,  T pointed out that the Ger- 
mans were in the closed port of 
Agadir, that they were landing and 


negotiating with the tribes and for all 


we knew might be aequiring con- 
cessions, Tt might also be that the 
German flag had been hoisted at 
Agadir, which is the most suitable 


port on that coast for a navel base.” 

Sir Bdward) Grey pointed out to 
Count Wolf-Metterniteh that in the 
event of the negotiations with France 
failing Great Britain would be obliged 
to tuke some step in order to protect 
British interests, 

The German ambassador was not in 
a position to impart any information | 
to the British foreign offiee, but he 
depreciated the assumption of possible | 
damage to British interests and said | 
he was sure that his government had | 
no intention of acquiring commercial |

THE PIONEER, DIDSBURY, ALBERTA. 


TELLS HOW IT WAS DONE | 


J. E. Maynard Describes His Method | 
of Raising Prize Winning 
Wheat 


Among the guests of honor at) the 
banquet to Seager Wheeler, who won | 
the first prize of $1,000, was J. Ke} 
Maynard, of Deloraine, Man., winner | 
of the third prize for the best sample | 
of hard red wheat at the recent land | 
show in Madison Square garden, New | 
York city. Mr. Maynard was one of | 


[the early settlers in the provinee of | 


Manitoba, having gone there and tak: | 
en up a squatter’s claim before the | 
Dominion government survey was | 
completed, | 

“LT have been growing that) same 
seed for 14 years now,” declared Mr. 
Maynard, and T believe the seeret: of | 
my success is that T have been exceed. | 
ingly careful about selecting my seed 
and TP believe that this is the most iin- 
portent of all things in the growing of 
wood grain.’ 

Fourteen years ago a man named 
Harkney brought a ecarlond of Red 
Fyfe seed wheat into Manitoba from 
Minneapolis. Mr. Maynard bouglit 
some of this and has been reseeding 
from it each year for M4 years, and 
during that time he has captured 
$2,500 worth of prizes, besides four 
silver trophies and four sweepstakes, 
two at Winnipeg and two at Brandon. | 

“You had better say that it was on! 


| 


' 


jmy son's farm that the prize grain was 


grown,” declared Mr. Maynard, who 
celebrated his 80th birthday last year. 
“You ought to give my son, Thomas | 
Maynard, the eredit, for he does all} 
the work and grows all the grain) 
how,” i 

“A farmer should always keep a! 
good supply of seed on hand, so that} 
when a bad season comes and the} 
season is poor he will always have | 
good seed to plant for the next year,” | 
he said. “T have planted the very 
best IT could get always and whenever | 
our grain was particularly good I put 
aside sufficient to last for a number of | 
years if necessary.” 

The process of agriculture employed 
on the Maynard farm is not unusual. | 
The seed was sown three inches deep 
by a press drill, When it) had come | 
above the ground a harrow was pass- 
ed over the field once and then, with 
good weather conditions, Mr. Maynard 


jalways had a good harvest, so he de-| 


clares. 

Never has he sown wheat on a piece 
of land oftener than once every three 
years, After a crop of wheat he grows | 
onts or other grain, and then summer | 
fallows one season,

ENGLISH PRIMATE ON CANADA 


Archbishop of Canterbury Says No- 
thing Like Its Growth Has Ever 
Happened 


London.—No in England is 
iore 
Canada than the Archbishop of Can- 


terbury, and in an address delivered 


man 


at Edinburgh the other day he spoke | 


with reference to the position in the 
empire she would occupy before long 


“As compared with any other place | 


or part of the whole worid in its rela- 
tion to our lind and to our personal 
responsibility there is 
thing to compare with what is hap- 


pening in Western Canada today,” he! 


siid, “and nothing that the world has 
dreamt of in its ultimate possibilities 
of wealth, in growth, and in rapidity 
of distribution equals the condition in 
Canada.” 

Mr. J. W. Gulland, Seoftish Radical 
Whip, on his return from Canada gave 
to his constituents his impressions of 
the Dominion, 

He never met a single Canadian, he 
declared, who asked that) England 
should give them a preference in its 
markets for their goods. Tn Canada 
there was a feeling of the warmest 
loyalty for this country, 

“The Canadians,” he said, “realized 
how 
the constant stream of the best people 
in our country. Surely there is no 
yreater gift we could give them. I 
think there are far too many going to 
Conada and the people who are leav- 
ing our shores are not crude and use- 
ess people, but people upon whom we 
have spent a great deal in educating 


ond training. We are sending out 
there the finished product of our 
race,” 


GOOD PRICES FOR FAT CATTLE 


Quality of Beef Offered to Consumers 
Better Than Ever Before in 
History of West 


Calgary.—Because the farmers — of 
the Canadian West have been resort- 
ing to stable feeding to prepare their 
cattle for the market, the quality of 
Christmas beef to be offered to the 
consumer on the local markets this 
year will be better than ever before in 
the history of the west. 

Until recently western 


cattle men 


shipped their cattle to home and for- | 


eign markets straight from the range 
without any special preparation, This 
did not do justice to western beef. 
Now, however, all over the west, 
ranchers and farmers are stable feed- 
ing thousands of cattle in preparation 
for the markets, 

The exeessive moisture during the 
past summer, which injured the grain 


seriously, ecnused «a luxuriant growth 
of wild grasses on the praine and 
cattle have been able to obtain abund. 


ant food without any effort. This has 


fattened them as they seldom have 
heen fattened and with a few weeks’ 
stable feeding, bas given the west a]

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL 


LESSON X1.—FOURTH QUARTER, 
FOR DEC. 10, 1911. 

Text of the Lesson, Neh. vi, 1-12. 
Memory Verse, |!—Golden Text, 
Ps. xxvii, }\—Commentary Prepared 
by Rev. D. M. Stearns. 

Chapter v tells of a great) wrong 
tinong the Jews themselves, for some 
were nolding: tortgayes on the lands 


land houses of tieir poorer brethren 
fund lenamg money at a high rate, 
wile for twelve yours Nehemiah as 
governor had refused to be charges 
able to the people or to take any 
thing from them. On the contrary, he 
ted at his own table 150 Jews ond 
rulers besides those who came from 
the nations about them, and all this 


at bis own expense 
| Chapter viis a record of his enemivs 
froin without who earnestly sought to 
do him personal harm First they 
thought to do him mischief by enticing 
hin to meet them in one of the vil- 
jluges in the plain of Ono. It is ever 
jtrue that the wieked plotteth against 
the just, wateheth the righteous and 
seeketh to slay him CPs. xxxvii, 12, 
’2). But the Lord shall laugh at 
jhim, for He eeeth that his day is com- 
jing. Every ehild of God must expect 
to be hated by the world and to suffer 
jtribulation and persecution Glohn xv, 
/ 18-20; xvi, 99; TE Tim iii, 12), and it 
should be aeeepted as a gift from God 
land a special privilege (Phil. i, 29; I 
| Pet. iv, 12, #4). 
| Nehemial¥s seply to the first temp- 
{tation, in verse 3, is worthy of imita- 
}tion by all earnest Christian workers 
j who are asted to turn aside from that 
jto which God has called them: “T am 
doing a great work, so that I cannot 
come down, Why should the work 
cease while | leave it and come down 
to you?’ It is always a wrong kind 
jof coming down to leave any work 
|directly for God, which He has in- 
trusted to us, to confer with world- 
| lings or even to-attend some kinds of 
lcommittee meetings or so called min- 
jisters’ meetings which do not profit. 
|All coming down from any form of 
| pride or self is always right and prof- 
litable, for our highest place is lying 
jlow atuour Rewdeemer’s feet, and the 
ard alone nvust be exalted, and with 
| Him alone must we be occupied, 

Four times they tried in a similar 
way to entice Him, but he was en 
abled to resist them every time (verse 
). An old hudy who endeavored to 
find something good in every one and 
jeverything was once asked if she ever 
jsaw anything good in the devil, She 
ithoughtfully replied, “Well, he is very 
|persistent.”’ These enemies of Nehe- 
miah were evidently in his employ, As 
to Nehemiah, he was steadfast, un- 
jmovable, abounding in the work of the 
j Lord, Knowing that his labor was not 
in vain in the Lord (i Cor. xv, 58) 
The tifth temptation was in the form 
jof an open letter by Sanballat’s serv.

ant, in whieh was written a report that 
Nehemiah and the Jews thought to

Lanis, where we take our tint meal 
soldier fashion, Every man carries a 
Hhaversack containing «a knife, fork, 


spoon, plate and cup, and nearly every

The fortifications, mounds and trenches 
are yet visible, which is now but a for-

crossed mountains, high and low, tropi- 
cal streams and mountain rivulets by 
trails over which but few white men 
have ever trod, Trails scarcely a foot

An interview with an engineer given

}ieet that there is abundant timber 


wiy is an illustration of the 
preheusion in regard to the matter

the Hudson Bay Railway made in the 
years WO and Ith, by the Forestry 
i Braneh of the Department of the In- 
terior, shows that there is not enough 
mature timber along the line of tha 
railway to build the road. There are 
no prairie districts of any extent along 
the route, there are trees everywhere, 
but owing to repeated fires the forest 
is, except on the nearest fraction of 
the area, too small for 
purposes and unless it ean be protect. 
ed from fire until it reaches maturity, 
will never be of any use to the coun. 
try. Explorations in’ other parts of 
the northern forested distriets tell the 
sume tale. Everywhere fire has work 
ed havoc, and the forest i< a mere 
wreck of what it might have beon if 
fires could be prevented. And unless 
fadequate measures are taken now to 
protect: young and immature 
which form the major part of the 
stand, the outlook for the future is
